5/5, it's all starting to click now! I just needed to keep practicing and drawing examples.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
For anyone stuck on these:
Write out all the indicator words and place them in a necessary and sufficient column.
Draw out the circles for necessary and sufficient.
Enjoy.
I was having trouble especially with the questions, but once I drew them out, I understood it completely. Now I can visualize these problems in my head.
Keep drawing each problem out and placing the necessary and sufficient conditions in each circle.
After two months of trying to understand the way these LSAT questions were worded, I finally get the hang of it!! I should have subscribed to this course sooner :')
Anyone having issues here with the "only" examples causing the result to flip, just break it down into what is "causing" something to be the case. Remember if -> then.
For example -
In Aristotle's view, universals exist only where they are instantiated.
Means
If there is a universal THEN there MUST be a universal which is instantiated.
U -> I or If U then I
Let's try without the ONLY.
In Aristotle's view, universals exist where they are instantiated.
Now it means -
If there is an instantiated universal, THEN there is an existing universal.
I -> U or if I then U. It "flips" because now we are saying everywhere there is an existing there is an instantiated. No exceptions. We do not know in the first example if I -> U because there could be many other ways to get to instantiated. The second one does not allow for exceptions like the first, at least strictly logically speaking.
So the test on is on the computer. We can only highlight and underline. Is there a video that shows how to do all this writing on a separate piece of paper? I understand the instructor is writing for educational purposes, but how do we deploy the same strategies on the test?
i find this practice exhausting but super helpful. the contrapositives really help clarify whether i got the order correct.

#HELP
Any tips of not confusing necessary and sufficient conditions in more complex examples like these? Right now, I'm only getting 4 out of every 5 right.

Chat I get it!!
5/5!!!
